DIY Fall Pompom and Fabric Rose Wreath

Fall is here! But it's not quite time to bring out the spooky Halloween wreaths just yet. So I made a new one! I love my fabric roses from the Curtain Tie project and have been wanting to make more AND make some out of burlap!

I gathered up miscellaneous fabric {some was clearance pieces, some leftover from other projects} and my twine.

I started ripping the fabric into strips, changing up the width and length in order to create various size roses.

I followed directions from the Curtain Tie post and made a good handful of different size roses and pompoms.{Pompoms are easy to create, just google it if you're not sure how}

Next, I started hot gluing them to the grapevine wreath.

I wrapped the twine around the top of the wreath and then used another piece of torn fabric to create a tie for the wreath to hang. I started by knotting the fabric around the wreath. Then I tied a knot around a finger. Slide the finger out and I had a loop to hang with. And finished it off with a bow tie.

***While I'm thrilled to share my step-by-step directions, the good and the bad, these are intended for your personal use. I'm always happy to hear and see what my bloggers have been working on. BUT a lot of work goes into these creations and while I have no issues sharing so you are able to create the work for your precious homes please understand that selling an exact duplication of my designs is highly frowned upon. :( Please always be considerate of another artists work. Thank you!***
